Just been doing some research on here. Have the opportunity to grab the OEM Front + Rear GTR strut braces for R32 for $130.

I guess they are better then having nothing but will there be a noticable feel/feedback?

I also know there is a good chance of clearance issues for the front, but at that price I thought it was a very tempting buy.

Just wondering on thoughts.

Kane.

front strut brace is definitely a worth while upgrade, rear less so, but i found i could feel a difference in the way the car handled at low speeds with the rear bar on and off.

Rear will fit. Front i cant say. I don't know if it will clear the top of the plenum.

You could just call an import workshop, or someone like American Auto, and ask if the brace fits both. I reckon the dimensions would be the same at the front (i'm not 100% sure).

Yeah strut brace go for it, increasing rigidity means taking corners faster. That's reason enough!

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
